Some, though not all, I require members to live in the house at least one year. For many members, the chapter house provides a home away from home, a place to study or to relax with friends, whether or not they decide to live-in. The chapter houses also provide an alternative to campus meal plans, eating out, or cooking in the residence hall or apartment. Meals at the house provide a time to hang out with other members and enjoy everyone’s company. Meal plans range from three to 14 meals per week, depending upon the chapter. Questions about reducing or cancelling on-campus meal plans through either Carolina Dining Services or Granville Towers should be addressed as early as possible in the recruitment process to avoid unnecessary financial penalties. For detailed cost information on living in the chapter houses, please refer to uncpanhellenic.com.
